    For example, when the county sheriff is at the door telling you that you have to evacuate because of a wildfile it's a little late to try and gather up the stuff you need to take. Having a bugout bag already prepared is something you can toss in the car and go to the woods or a hotel for one night and see what you forgot. It would be a whole lot better to find out in a dry run that you forgot your medicine than to find out when you're sitting in a Red Cross shelter.

    You can not expect your evacuation (whatever the reason) to go smoothly or to include everything (or only that) which is necessary if you never practice. Until you practice your plan, it's all theoretical and you are just hoping for the best.
    What the heck is this "EOTWAWNI" anyway?

    Whatever scenario your imagination can create, honestly.

    Most recent?

    Katrina.

    For the people in New Orleans, it was definitely the end of the world "as they knew it".

    Some people plan for hurricanes, some for earthquakes, some for nuclear war, some for a Russian invasion (watched Red Dawn to many times), some for economic meltdown, some for terrorist acts, and some for zombie attacks.

    Some people just like to be prepared for whatever situation happens to come along.

    I was just kidding about Y2K. I also like to be prepared, and I think I am. Fortunately, I'm in good health, and trained and experienced in police, fire, and EMS - type operations so mentally I think I'm good to go. I enjoy a good crisis. Physically, I'm healthy and conditioned so I don't need a lot like medicines, prescription lenses, dentures (haha), etc. Mostly, I just want clean water and toilet paper. lol
